Statement from the Candidate

In 2010 I ran an unsuccessful campaign for the United States Congress, but I'm still posting blogs that I believe express an opinion that most other people miss, and that I also believe can make America great again and cast off the yoke of liberal/progressive control that is currently in place.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, whom the Democrats in the House were using in an attempt to gather dirt on Trump, was sentenced to jail for his felonies weeks ago, but has been allowed to remain free to live a normal life since the sentencing in order to appear before the House of Representatives and tell his lies about President Trump.

But Roger Stone got the full terrorist hit-squad, riot-gear treatment from the FBI warriors armed to the teeth with assault rifles and battering rams as he was collected to go before a judge for processing, and he hadn’t even yet been charged with a crime, let alone convicted, and he was treated like a multiple killer or a mass terrorist who threatened society instead of the white-collar essence of the crime he was finally charged with. And Paul Manafort, another of President Trump’s former employees, was held in solitary confinement awaiting trial, and was shuttled off to jail, possibly for the remainder of his life, as soon as the judge issued the sentence for his white-color, non-violent crimes.

Today even criminals have Liberal privilege. Talk about honor among thieves and the subject must be about Liberals. And since the decision to lock-up a sentenced felon or let him remain free comes from the justice side of the law and not the legislative side, how much collusion between the law and the Democrat law-makers does it suggest when only Trump’s former associates are treated like really bad hombres, and the Democrat’s useful idiots are allowed significant freedom, liberty and respect when they’re convicted?

What has happened to justice in America? Answer: Barack Obama and the radical leftist tack of Democrat rulers, that’s what. And the treatment of Donald Trump and the eternal persecution of him for the lie of Russian Collusion, which the FBI and the DOJ both knew was a lie and a set-up deal originated by Obama and Hillary, are just a continuation of the same old Washington Swamp theme of getting rid of anyone who threatens their power to rule from their position of Liberal Privilege.

So far, as we lead up to the 2020 presidential election, the only Democrat candidates who have proudly stepped forward and announced that they are running are people who seem to be proud of the fact that they have smoked, inhaled and enjoyed a toke or two, or are built up and celebrated by the leftist press as being rock stars.

And if there is the odd Democrat candidate somewhere who is not a doper or a rocker, he, or she, is running on the same old leftist, Socialist, rotten platform as the ones who are rockers and the dopers.

Today’s Democrat party has no serious candidates among their number. All of them just play follow-the-leader with the leftist pitch for free college, free income, free smokes and free healthcare. And while everything is being promised to be free, they are all critical of Capitalism, which is the reason why things can be advertised as being free, because Capitalism has been so successful for so many people, with so much wealth and comfortable living having been created under its banner, that unthinking leftists believe that the golden eggs will continue to be produced by the Capitalist goose, even if the goose is killed and consumed. As Venezuela is now learning, the Capitalist goose only has one life, and when it’s gone no more wealth and no further job-creation comes from it. Life becomes short and brutish and miserable.

The current slate of Democrat candidates don’t like America and have no respect for our constitution, which limit’s the power of the government and reserves most things in life as being at the discretion of the individual citizens and not government. The reason for their disdain for constitutional limits on the government is that Democrats want to constantly expand the role of government in, and control over, our lives, and they want any power-limiting device done away with so they can rule like dictators. The entire current Russia collusion investigation was caused by an overlarge government, in which Barack Obama told the FBI and the Justice Department to NOT prosecute Hillary Clinton for her various and dangerous email crimes, which was followed by the trumped-up Dossier aimed at Donald Trump and the further in-depth cover-up of Hillary’s classified documents crimes by the FBI, which puts many governmental actors in danger of prison for obeying Obama, and all because the leftist, Democrat president demanded that a fellow-thinker, Hillary, remain in the Oval Office and continue the big-government reign of power that Obama began. Every move Obama made was unconstitutional and was performed to take power from citizens and place more power in the hands of the Deep State Swamp.

So dopers and rock-stars, none of whom are very smart nor very deep thinkers, should be kept out of the Oval Office because they are a danger to all of the freedoms and liberties we exercise daily and want to continue to enjoy. If one of the Democrat dope-heads is elected to the presidency they’ll rule by executive order, they’ll open up the southern border to all illegals who want to live here, they’ll pack the Supreme Court with leftist judges, and they’ll destroy this great nation.

On March 5, 2019, I published an article titled “The Earth Has Only 12 Years Left? Let’s See” in which I expressed doubt as to the validity of the 12-year warning of the earth’s end, which is all the rage in Democrat/Progressive focus groups. Although I was on target with my advice to track the next 11 years (the first year is already in progress on Bernie Sanders’ 12-year warning) and see if the earth actually does warm up incrementally, as each of the years passes us by, I failed to consider the actual level of warming Bernie and AOC are referring to with their 12-year heads up.

Considering that the original warming proponents of the 1970s and 80s told us that the earth would experience a warming of about one or two degrees in the next 50 or 60 years, that’s not much warming to worry about. Plus, it is not politically useful to leftist radicals and provides them no political clout at all. So I assume that Bernie’s and AOC’s new claims, now for only 12 years and not dozens of years into the future, must be anticipating warming to increase much more than the paltry 2 degrees formerly predicted.

So if the old prediction of a 2 degree increase wasn’t powerful enough for the current, lying Democrat politicians, maybe an increase of 50 degrees by 2030 would be a good number to shoot at, since no respectable Democrat politician will commit to a number.

In the Midwest, where I live, a 50 degree increase by 2030 would make the months of July and August weigh in at about 150 degrees on the hottest days. That’s plenty warm, but it’s livable if the Green New Deal permits us to keep our air conditioners, which it won‘t. It’s also very unlikely to happen, based on any warming that’s occurred in the last 20 or 30 years.

So an increase of 50 degrees in 12 years means an annual increase of about 4 degrees from 2018 to 2030. Since we’re in the first of these 12 years, can anyone say that the temperature at their hometown has gotten hotter so far? It hasn’t as far as I can determine. In the Midwest I haven’t seen the range of temperature changing much during this first lapsed year. During the summer of this year (2019 will begin the second year of Bernie’s 12-year promise of destruction) I’m anxious to see if temperatures of 105 to 109 degrees actually happens. But since there has been no noticeable increase of temperature during year one, I believe old Bernie is just being political with his scare tactics, and I’ll bet we also will not see any increase in temperature during year number two, either. One wonders if Bernie’s followers will ever be able to see the insult to their intelligence with the warming/change claims.

If we are to take Bernie and AOC at their literal word about continued warming and devastating weather, we must assume that this warming has been going on for many years as the warming alarmists claim, and it makes one wonder if every year since 2000 as an example, has seen the temperature increased by the estimated 4 degrees? If that were the case then temperatures today in 2019, would have to be 76 degrees hotter, every day, following the 2000 start date. And this proves the lie of the warming advocates’ alarming claims. Because in the Midwest in March when the temperature may reach a maximum of 40 or 50 degrees, the 76 degree increase in temperature would push the temperature to 120 degrees, and this sort of temperature increase has definitely not happened. We are being lied to by these charlatans.

One must be careful when dealing with the inventive and lying Democrats, though. Maybe Bernie means that in the year 2030, all of a sudden the temperature will increase by his imaginary 50 degrees and will shoot to 150 degrees. Also one must consider that the Democrats will change their tune on a dime, as they did when they went from calling it “Global Warming” and switched to the phrase “Climate Change” because the lack of increasing temperature was undermining their whole raison d’etre.

So if Democrats are speaking about climate/weather and not exclusively about higher temperatures, then I’d like everyone to notice that the Midwest is famous for its tornados. The Kansas City area had a bad tornado hit in the late 1950s, and Joplin, MO was devastated in 2011, but neither city has seen any more damage from tornados since those two dates. So if Democrats tell us that the subject is climate change/weather, and not the actual increase of temperature, then why is 2030 such a threat to us if the last 8 years has not produced another tornado as destructive as the one in 2011 was for Joplin? If temperatures are not rising as sharply as the 50 degrees I’m assuming for 2030, then how can weather get worse if the temperature does not increase significantly at the same time? Supposedly the use of carbon products is causing temperatures to rise and weather to be more violent, so I’m betting that Bernie and his radical pals cannot explain what’s wrong with my 50 degree assumption for the year 2030, because every American is still driving their cars and keeping their home thermostats at a comfortable setting, which means we are continuing our use of carbon products, and temperatures remain stable these last many years.

What if the old, less sophisticated Democrats of 1975, when all of this bluster about the destruction of the earth began, had told us that the temperature of the world was increasing by 5 degrees a year because of there being too many cars, too many air conditioners, too many cows releasing gases, all of which claims are being made by today’s Democrats? If that was what they said back in the 1980s and 90s, the current temperature of the world, now 40 years later, would have increased by over 200 degrees. And although I’ll admit that winters are not as cold as they once were (but summers are still just as warm, although not any warmer than they were 40 years ago), I’m not aware of July and August in Missouri being anywhere near in excess of 100 degrees for more than a day or two at a time.

But by using the assumed 50 degree increase in temperature by 2030, and we must assume another 50 degrees increase 12 years after that, and each 12 year interval following those 12 years, we’ll still be nearing 200 degrees by 2050, per the predictions of Bernie Sanders, which is a complete crock of leftist crap.

So let’s track the weather and temperature predictions of Bernie and his leftist pals, starting with Summer this year, and, after two years into the 12-years-to-doom he’s predicted, see if we come even close to the 4 to 8 degree temperature increase that should be happening this summer if the lying Democrats are accurate with this global destruction thing.

Conservatives, and most Republicans, like to be left alone and not be bothered with politics. They like to go to work each morning and return home to their families each night. They get great satisfaction providing for their families and feeling in charge of their lives.

Liberals, progressives and other Democrats like chaos, protest marches and telling everyone else how to live their lives.

The only times conservatives like public displays of emotions are at fourth of July parades. Whereas Democrats enjoy ANTIFA brawling, occupy wall street sprawls, women’s marches, Black Lives Matter protests, trans-gender displays, and the occasional just plain riot.

When Republican politicians do something that is distasteful to the Republican leadership, as Iowa Representative Steve King did a month or so ago, the party immediately removes him from his committee responsibilities and shames him into silence. But when Representative Ilhan Omar makes a racist, anti-Semitic remark that shocks the nation, the Democrat leader in the House makes excuses for her, mildly shakes her finger at her, and then initiates legislation denouncing the type of remark that Omar made, but leaves the perpetrator of the remark unidentified and unblamed and in full possession of her committee assignments and her good name. The perpetrator skates free on the Democrat side, and the perp on the Republican side is punished.

Republicans choose to discuss pleasantly any and all differences between the parties, but Democrats call Republicans evil and their dutiful followers shoot Republicans on a baseball field outside Washington, nearly killing one of them.

Chicago Democrats are fond of paying friends to have themselves beaten, then calling the attack racism and blaming the it on a MAGA-hat-wearing white guy.

Conservatives usually praise the police for risking their lives to keep our streets safe. Democrats form BLM protests and call for police officer assassinations.

There’s a big difference between Democrats and Republicans, and the continuation of our lives as we’ve known them is dependent on voters keeping Democrats out of political offices.

One reads a lot these days of white privilege, but the privileged class is really a hyphenated class: the correct term is White-Liberal privilege.

One can recall Hillary Clinton’s daughter, fresh out of college, getting a six-figure job with NBC, for which she did absolutely nothing during the year she had the job. NBC was obviously buying access to Hillary in hopes of her becoming president one day, but did the influence buying have to be so obvious? And then Chelsea married and moved into a ten-million dollar penthouse in New York City. Enough said about privilege.

One can also recall the FBI refusing to prosecute Hillary after James Comey listed her various crimes for ten minutes during a televised talk on July 5, 2016. Now that’s privilege.

And what about Barack Obama speaking very softly and begging Vladimir Putin to give him more time to get re-elected so he could serve Russia’s demands. One dare not call it collusion, but it is absolutely Liberal privilege, that the leftist news agencies found nothing of interest here at all.

And how about Bill Ayers, the murderer and terrorist bomber, who gave Obama his big entry into national politics. Was the criminal Ayers an obstacle at all for Obama? Not when Liberal privilege is concerned.

And how about the Steele Dossier that initiated the Trump Collusion charge? Does the fact that for two years we’ve known that this document, used by the FBI to get Trump spied on via the FISA court, was a total fabrication bought by the DNC and the Clinton campaign people? Not a bit, when it’s by and for Liberal privilege.

And now we have liberal privileged Hollywood types buying access for their children to elite colleges and universities. Nothing here to see, no big deal. But maybe this elite college thing is not as great as we thought it was. After all Obama was the most corrupt and narrow minded president we’ve ever had and he attended Columbia and Harvard. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got a degree in economics at Boston College, and it only got her a job tending bar in the Bronx; plus, she is the dumbest person in Washington at the present time. So fancy colleges can only go so far in life, and then you either have what it takes, or you don‘t.

The current atmosphere in Washington is reminiscent of the state of terror that controlled everyone’s lives in the former Soviet Union, because American Democrats are acting exactly like Joseph Stalin with their reign of lawless terror in our nation’s capitol.

One of the most recent and outlandish acts of the House committees investigating President Trump was to send orders to 81 people close to Trump, his family and his business dealings, to respond to them about any dealings with Trump that could raise eyebrows as to their legality, in an effort to gather information so the Democrats in the House can begin impeachment proceedings on our president. A second reason Democrats have for the orders to produce documents is the hope that the Democrat majority can begin legal actions against some or all of the 81 recipients of the order. These costly legal actions would burden and worry people who have dealt with Trump in the past, which would act as a warning of more demands in the future from Democrat legislators, which demands could result in costing tens of thousands of dollars to innocent people, with the further threat of bankruptcy or prison if the Democrats don’t get the damaging information they want on the president. Robert Mueller and his band of investigators have shown the path to this kind of corrupt justice, and people like Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort have paid the price for having known and worked with President Trump, and have been financially and legally broken for actions taken outside of, and unrelated to, their workings with Trump in the last election.

These orders to produce are just a way to beat down people close to Trump and hopefully get some dirt on him, out of fear of being ruined by the corrupt Democrats. And anyone deciding to not send in the demanded documents, will be subpoenaed and likely found in contempt of the House and threatened with even higher legal bills, just because they know, or worked with, President Trump.

The stench of Joseph Stalin and Hitler’s SS are all over the Democrats in their zeal to hurt Trump’s reputation before the 2020 elections, of at least cause many current Trump supporters to abandon him due to the negative atmosphere the corrupt Democrats are manufacturing.

The old quote of Stalin’s pal, Lavrentiy Beria, of “Show me the man, I’ll find you the crime” should be posted above the entrance to the House Of Representatives because of their Stalinist actions taken to remove a president that is undoing all of the third-world policies and positions the Democrats have enacted the last fifty-or-so years, acts that destroy nations and impoverish their populations.

Democrats, in their frenzy to get the goods on Trump, are behaving like jackals, and that’s not the tradition that has made our legal system the envy of the world. Or to phrase it in Obama-style: that’s not who we are.

The immature and dangerous Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has identified herself, after being in the House for a little over a month, as the “boss”. I’m not certain exactly what she thinks she’s the boss of, but the boss of shrillness and idiocy are all she‘s displayed. She evidently does not understand that her job as a legislator is to negotiate with Republicans and oversee the protection of our nation and our constitution, not give American citizens orders and then threaten to punish them when they don’t respond to her demands favorably.

If you were to tell Ms. AOC that, rather than having the government issue whatever idiotic healthcare plan that radical leftists could patch together, you would prefer to keep your existing healthcare, which you may be personally paying for or are getting from your employer, Bossy would tell you that you will not be allowed to keep your plan under her enlightened and necessary idea of liberty in America. At least our corrupt Democrat legislator is being honest with us up front, unlike the America-hating Barack Obama who lied and reassured us that under his unconstitutional Affordable Care Act we could keep our plan, period; and we could keep our doctor, period; yada, yada.

If you were to tell AOC that you would like to drive a large, powerful car, she would tell you that, under her plan, you will not be permitted to do so.

If you were to tell her that you like the idea of a dependable, 24-hour supply of electricity to heat and cool your home in all weather conditions, she would deny your request at such a ridiculous notion, because don’t you know, earth has only 12 years left to live.

Of course the ignorant Miss Bossy will have luxury healthcare, and she will ride around in Limos and private jets, and her home will be comfortable in all weather because she will be able to get Coal- or natural-gas-fired electricity all the time. But you won’t, under her new Socialist/Communist Green New Deal plan.

A vision of horror like that of Venezuela is on the American horizon with the current bunch of America-hating Democrats who think that they know how America should operate better than the unique American traditions developed and proven to be successful over decades of experience. Democrats are acting like a drunk mechanic who is ripping your car’s engine to pieces with sweet promises of a better running auto when he’s completed the modifications. and all you came in for was an oil and filter change.

Our new and unwelcome “Bosses” on the Democrat left are just dictators-in-training, and so far they’re not doing well with their indoctrinations. Their job is to represent us, not give us orders. But our main job as citizens is to boot these fools out of their elected positions before they do real, lasting harm to America.

Newly installed House of Representatives Democrat, Ilhan Omar, recently made a racist, anti-Semitic statement about Jews in general and Israel in particular which raised the hackles of all thinking Americans, and places in question not only the quality of people the Democrats allow in their party, but also the wisdom of the people voting for such fools and putting them in office.

Of course, Nancy Pelosi was appropriately, but unconvincingly, shocked by the comment, while at the same time defending and criticizing Ms. Omar as a bumbling fool for not being able to predict the hurt her remarks would cause other people. But Ms. Omar doesn’t care at all for the hurt her idiotic remarks may cause. She hates Jews, and fighting them and trying to eliminate them is her only interest. So Ms. Pelosi, the leader of the House of Representatives, swore she would generate legislation that would make Ms. Omar’s remarks prohibited and off limits for the House in the future.

But when the legislation was voted on it made no reference to Ms. Omar, who was the sole cause for the bill in the first place and whose nasty remarks about Jews was the subject of the bill, and instead called for no more off-hand remarks for LGBT groups, people who blush easily, people-of-color, people who don’t mix well in groups, people who have blunt noses; I think you get the point: the legislation made white males culpable for all instances of bigotry and hate, and gave Omar a complete pass, because as we all know, and as CNN’s Don Lemon reminds us frequently, the only racist, homophobic, hate-filled people in America are white, patriotic, males, especially those who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. So instead of pointing a finger of guilt at the real racist, Ms. Omar, the Democrat legislation branded all American white males as being bad persons and left the real anti-Semitic, racist free of any charge.

But the interesting thing to make note of in this matter is that David Duke and Louis Farrakhan both issued statements of agreement with Ms. Omar’s vicious statement about Jews, so at least if Nancy Pelosi is unable to identify a racist she is working with every day of the week, at least racists can identify each other. One only hopes Omar, Duke and Farrakhan meet privately so no one else has to see or hear any of them ever again.

And as far as international relations goes, Ms. Omar is in the finest of company, because one hears reports of French Jews immigrating to Israel in increasing numbers because of anti-Jewish sentiment and a disturbing number of attacks on Jews in the stylish and trend-setting nation of France. The French and Ms. Omar deserve each other.

For the better part of the last 100 years the American left has flirted with and embraced Communism as an ideal that Americans should accept as superior to Capitalism as practiced under our Constitutional government. In spite of Democrat love for Communism, Capitalism expanded and Communist/Socialist states around the world collapsed while their citizens suffered. But is forbidden to call Democrats who plotted against our capitalist economy “traitors”, which they are.

The only thing that has publicly brought American liberals to speak critically of Russia is the lie of a Trump/Russia collusion, that Democrats claim caused Hillary to lose to Donald Trump in 2016. The Democrat lie about collusion caused Democrats to pretend to reject Vladimir Putin, after Barack Obama swooned over and privately dealt with the Russian dictator for the eight years of his presidency. But one must not say there was collusion on the part of President Obama with his secret appeals to Putin to give him more time to get re-elected so he could do Putin’s bidding and undermine American security.

But, having to back off of a fondness for Russia because of the political convenience of hating an imagined Trump/Putin pact, American liberals wasted no time finding another style of governing to worship as they rejected the proven success of Capitalism. An entire movement of Democrat politicians, and virtually all of the Democrat 2020 presidential candidates, immediately took up the banner of Venezuelan Socialism and began promising government giveaways of everything that people enjoy and need, to be provided free under their new idea of an American presidential administration. The failing state of Venezuela had no blemishes that Democrats could identify, so they promised they would do the same things that has caused Venezuelan citizens to have no food and no medicines, and to be on the edge of revolution because of the total failure of the Socialist Maduro government.

Now we have Muslim women in the House of Representatives aggressively attacking Jews and Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East, along verbally abusing whatever Republican House member they can call racist at the moment, just because he’s there.

And one cannot fail to mention the traitorous Hillary Clinton who passed thousands of classified documents over an un-secure Email server, thereby risking American lives and our national security with her horrendous acts. But even though, on July 5, 2016, the Director of the FBI listed the many illegal and traitorous acts Hillary committed while she was Secretary of State, he decided not to seek prosecution for these numerous acts of treason. If James Comey’s refusal to send the Hillary case to a Grand Jury is not itself an act of treason, I can’t imagine what is.

It’s about time that Americans identified the majority of the Democrat party as being traitors and start bouncing their rear ends out of positions of power in our government.

I consider myself an old-fashioned person who only wants the greatest level of liberty for the greatest number of American citizens. There are things I would legalize if only to remove criminal stigmatization and stop the criminal element from profiting from those marginally questionable things, but there are also some legalizations that should not be performed in order to protect young, impressionable people from a mistake that could destroy their lives.

But when it comes to the legalization of marijuana I draw the line. And I only have one real objection to this legalization: legalizing this drug will only lead to a greater use of it by young people who too often use it to avoid the boredom and pointlessness of their daily lives. Young people should be encouraged to be mentally bright and awake, and using marijuana will do the exact opposite of that. If you’ve ever seen a college-aged person on marijuana listlessly drifting, both mentally and physically, you’ll know what I mean. The drug is too tempting and too easily attained as it is, and we should not lower the barriers that keep people of all ages from using it. One recalls the old saying that the mind is a terrible thing to waste, and that summarizes my opposition to any recreational drug.

A society that apparently urges its young people to use marijuana is risking that they live lives of ever-escalating drug use, constantly seeking a more powerful drug to satisfy them, and this would be a life of never-ending drug use. There have been many Libertarians on the subject of drugs who see evidence of the relationship between recreational drugs and schizophrenia and object to legalization on that relationship. And one could also add the relevant point that many current Democrat candidates for president are admitted users of recreational drugs, and maybe their drug use is why these misguided people are all for promising government goodies to everyone in exchange for their vote. They don’t seem to understand that we have a constitution and that they will swear to abide by and protect that constitution if they’re elected in 2020, but their drug-rattled brains don’t work properly now, and will work even less well in 2020 when, and if, they are elected to the Oval Office and lead the nation into the dark future of drug use.

How can society sit by and watch our young people use drugs as a tension-relieving tool? The young must learn how to cope with stress and tension and not seek escape from life in a drug.

Wednesday, March 6, 2019

At this point it’s supposedly been established that drugs affect the minds of humans, and with practically the entire slate of Democrat 2020 presidential candidates proudly announcing that they have enjoyed the mind-expanding qualities of smoking dope, and since this radical bunch of fools finds it necessary to declare, without reservation, that they smoked, inhaled and enjoyed the MJ experience, I take this as another indication of the mind-destroying reasons to NOT use such products. The scandalous example of supposedly responsible presidential candidates toking to their heart’s content will only encourage young people to follow the radical Democrats’ example of being cool and woke, and perhaps destroy their lives. In the good old days Bill Clinton had to admit that he did have experience with marijuana, but he claimed he didn’t inhale and didn’t like the experience. That was then, and it certainly is not now.

But what does this revelation of a majority of Democrat candidates, all of whom want to take up Barack Obama’s banner of “fundamentally transforming America” by Socialistically promising everything to everyone, everything, that is, except insisting that they obey the laws and work for a living, tell us about the state of the Democrat party today?

Some of these most influential Democrats are not only being partakers of marijuana, but are bragging about it. Is this bunch of fools making all of their Socialist-loving statements and leftist policy announcements because of their relative youth and the influence of the America-hating former Democrat president, or has the drug they are so proud of toasted their minds to the point that they don’t know right from wrong? All one can be certain of is that they do not know right from wrong. And with this knowledge of their mental state, how could any sensible person vote for these people to lead our nation?

It seems to me that with the socially acceptable aspect of smoking dope and the idiotic but liberal-serving side-effect that it perhaps makes one trendy to be smoking and impressing one’s friends with how au courant they are, this knowledge of their attitude on critical matters makes these presidential candidates unfit for duty. In a world going mad with terrorist bombings, North Korea launching missiles across Japan and toward Hawaii, Palestinians promising to bury Israel and Iran threatening to nuke Europe and America, we need responsible people in the White House and not a bunch of immature dope-heads who may indeed take up sniffing glue in the Oval Office if the fancy strikes them, and if it will impress their friends. And what about the staff and the Cabinet these idiots will appoint to defend our nation and oversee the protection and preservation of the constitution? They’ll be even worse than Eric Holder was, and that’s pretty bad.

For the last 40 years we have been told that the earth will be destroyed in 50 years; in 15 years; in 10 years (this due date has already past and the earth is still here; 30 years (this due date also has already expired and the earth is still here); and now we’re told of a due date of 12 years coming from the radical Democrats in our government.

As noted, some of these predictions have already expired, and there is so little introspection and record keeping by radical Democrats that they continue to make their asinine predictions with straight faces, and they take us for such complete dunces that they don‘t realize we can track these predictions and know that they are all a crock of crap.

A year ago, in 2018, Bernie Sanders started this 12-year-to-destruction prediction, and now, a year later, we are down to only 11 years left to live, and still dumb old Bernie and stupid young AOC and their radical pals are trying to frighten us with this same old 12-year due date to disaster date. When lying Democrats use the same interval of time and don’t allow for a passing of time and revise their count-down to disaster with each passing year, we know that the threat is completely fabricated and is nothing but BS.

One assumes that this count-down-to-global-death will find life on earth getting increasingly more miserable as we approach the 12-year due date of 2030, which Bernie established last year. We should mark our calendars and let’s see if our lives get increasingly more uncomfortable as we approach the left’s imaginary date-of-death for all mankind. I know that with the passing of time and the expiration of former disaster due dates by Paul Ehrlich, Al Gore, Ted Danson, Prince Charles and other renowned environmental liars, have not produced a more inhospitable environment, and by just looking around one can see that life has gone on rather nicely despite our being told that we would be burning to death by 2010.

Warning: the misery we are told we will experience as we approach 2030 cannot include the misery we feel as we see radical Democrats propose environmental legislation and issue constant daily warnings of environmental disaster. If the Democrat warnings are to be believed, we should be feeling more actual environmental discomfort as birds fall from the skies; volcanoes erupt without end; hurricanes blow without pause; record snow-fall causes the end of baseball season in Tampa; and record heat halts the football season in Green Bay.

And as an aside to this issue, maybe the bad weather we are told we will experience as we approach 2030 and the end of the world, will be caused by the God-less Democrats with their racism, their abortion-on-demand, their lying and the destruction being done to people’s lives in Sanctuary Cities. Maybe God is punishing all of us for allowing Democrat radicals to be the ones to guide our national policies down the dark, treacherous paths that Bernie and AOC are leading us. Just maybe.

Saturday, March 2, 2019

Have you ever noticed that Democrats and their pals in the lying media don’t allow their followers to consider both sides of a policy matter, they instead instruct their Democrat subjects what to think concerning any and all issues.

A great example is a recent situation where Joe Biden, a possible Democrat candidate for president, said that Mike Pence was a “decent guy”, and the left blasted poor old Joe with ridicule and politically correct abuse for making such an honest but un-politic statement, to the extent that Biden was forced to apologize and retract his friendly and fellow-American statement. Biden and Pence have known each other for years and probably like each other, despite their political positions, which matter not whit when it comes to respecting someone for being a “decent guy”. But the power structure in the Democrat party is beginning to resemble the Kremlin in that it insists on everyone in the party following the party line. Biden got his mind right and took back the compliment, as any good, radical Democrat would do.

Similarly Donald Trump has been designated as a racist and a criminal for only one reason: he beat Hillary in 2016. But that’s the party line and Democrats will give him no leeway for being an accomplished executive and getting major things done in his first two years as president. And they still plot against him for the lie of collusion or anything else they can pin on him, even though the collusion charge has never been proven after extensive investigation, and we know that false evidence was planted by Democrat sources in order to frame him and remove him from office.

In the case of Trump’s recent trip to Hanoi to meet with Kim Jong-Un to discuss the nuclear disarmament of North Korea, the lying press first stated that they knew that Trump would sell American interests down the river by signing an agreement that would allow Kim to keep his weapons and still be a threat to Japan and South Korea, while Trump would give up things we hold dear in order to get any agreement. And then when Trump bluntly ended the talks and came home after refusing to agree with Kim’s insistence that the sanctions be removed from North Korea even though he would not give up his nuclear weapons, the press dumped on him again, by saying that Trump was a failure and could not deal as an equal with the dictator Kim. At no time was Trump given credit for meeting with the Norks and getting them to stop launching missiles over Japan and threatening a Nuke strike on Hawaii. President Trump has received no credit for attempting to talk Kim out of his weapons. Instead they keep calling Trump a racist, a war-monger and unbefitting the presidency.

President Trump’s attempts to get a peaceful resolution to the North Korea nuclear situation, and his ability to put a halt to the murderous ISIS killing spree in the Middle East, neither of which successes were even thought of by Barack Obama, let alone attempted in his eight years in office, are ignored by the fake news press, and the Democrat party will give him no credit at all, but instead just fall back on the racist and homophobic name-calling that they expect their mind-numbed Democrat followers to adhere to and believe. The pretense that Democrats are seeking a way to bring Americans together and put an end to the divisive rhetoric and snide remarks we now see exchanged every day, is a total lie. They want their hate for President Trump to be shared by all Democrats and to be repeated by the fake news press all the time.

Remember when the term “person of color” meant a black person of African descent, one who had actually been harmed by discriminatory policies and prejudice?

Well now, with self-identity run amuck and preferences being given to anyone who is not lily white, the term “person of color” has become a political term and is being claimed by everyone who hates President Trump and who wants some sympathy for whatever imagined problem they seem to be having in life.

Muslims and Hispanics, many of whom are ranking government officials and who are new arrivals to the self-identified down-trodden classes, even though they often have considerable wealth, now claim “person of color” status and pout and complain about racism, while overseeing the destruction of America. When the scam artist who is complaining about being “of color” but is actually the same shade of skin color as the most white among us, it’s difficult to take them seriously.

After eight years of the presidency of Barack Obama, why are there still so many discriminated-against, under-privileged people of various national origins, and why has the number of “persons of color” increased multi-fold during and following the Obama administration?

When a powerful, Democrat, Muslim Congresswoman, as white as any “non-person of color” I’ve ever seen, attacks a white Congressman as being a racist and then retreats to the position of the poor, mistreated, picked on woman of color when challenged for her vicious attack, it raises concerns about where a new wave of racism is coming from, and it is coming from the highest, most privileged, positions in our governmental structure.

One position of racism that has not been discussed publicly as of this time, is that even those who complain the most about racism in other people may well themselves be racists, even those who are the darkest in skin color or are just pretending to have the correct, approved shade, can commit racist acts on occasion.

On the other hand, when people take differing positions on issues it‘s not of necessity a sign of racism; they may just disagree. But of course Democrats will yell RACISM every time there is a disagreement because Republicans don’t have the courage to stand up to such charges and fight back. I will say, though, that all of the hate and obstruction thrown at Donald Trump by Democrats certainly appears to be a form of racism, because all of the accomplishments of President Trump are being ignored by his critics, and the trumped-up collusion charges against him have no basis except in the most virulent hateful and racist politics.

But the person of color phenomenon is just what one can expect from liberals: a program is designed to reverse real discrimination and stop the maltreatment of individuals, and then all Democrats jump on the program and claim to themselves be victims, thereby making a sham of the whole attempt to right past wrongs, and increasing tensions between Americans who have no real beef with each other. It’s almost as though some people may be seeking a position of victimhood by claiming to have a “person of color privilege“.

It’s long been said that Democrats just want to keep their welfare-dependent voters
“on the plantation” in order to keep demanding and receiving their voters, time-after-time-after-time, even though there has never been any improvement in the lives of the plantation dwellers that Democrats keep so close to them. And now we’ve learned that at least one Democrat candidate for president has actual ancestral hands-on experience in running a plantation.

On February 22, 2019, Megan Fox of PJ Media, reported that Kamala Harris’ father has exposed the fact that a forebear of Ms. Harris, one Hamilton Brown, born in Ireland in 1776 and later relocated to Jamaica, was an actual slave owner in on that island, so I guess this ancestral experience is what makes Ms. Harris a good fit for the Democrat leadership: she has plantation-running experience in her blood.

One wonders if the tearing down of Confederate statues, in vogue only a few months ago, will cause Ms. Harris’ reputation to be torn down in protest over an actual slave-owner having been identified in her past, and how does this discovery play in her bid for the White House?

And one also wonders if the hate crime hoax of Jussie Smollett, which made victims of all Trump-supporting, MAGA-hat wearing, white males when he claimed one of our number beat and tried to lynch him, is still defended by the likes of Kamala Harris. One must be reminded that Smollett’s accusation was declared to be true by Ms. Harris, and she blamed white racism in America for the lynching, and she even defended Mr. Smollett for making this false claim before any time was allowed for proper investigation of his false charges to be performed by the Chicago Police Department. One also wonders if Ms. Harris will admit that she is responsible for a lack of judgment in her rapid endorsement of the lying Smollett, and that she is distantly responsible for holding blacks back and preventing them from having an equal start in life with the rest of society, through her blood ties with the slave-owning Mr. Brown. Will she now drop out of the race for her crimes against all former slaves from Jamaica?

And will Mr. Harris now drop her demand for reparations to be made to persons who had ancestral slavery in their backgrounds; or will she accept guilt for her own family’s culpability in causing the misery and disadvantage of slaves many years ago, and fork over a few hundred thousand of her personal dollars to poor families in America? If she is serious in her intention of giving reparations from public funds to minority people who have personally known no slavery in their lifetimes, then I’d like to hear her reason for withholding her own funds to help make up for the misery and mistreatment of her own ancestor, Mr. Brown, who actually owned slaves and profited from this horrible practice.

But, of course, Democrats will state that the current left-wing, tax-supported plantation is justified because the poor people now depending on government largess need their help, just as her forebear would likely have made the argument that his slaves were ignorant and unable to fend for themselves, and he was just helping them by feeding them and providing shelter for them, because otherwise they would starve to death without his protection. You can bet that liberal/progressives will invent some such blather to justify their current racist argument for continuing the current plantation operation in America‘s largely Democrat-run central cities.

It’s a shame when rock music helps us understand the real world of politics, but I have to admit that the now-aged British band, The Who, got it right, or maybe it was wrong, sometimes it’s hard to interpret rock lyrics, with their song “We Won’t Get Fooled Again”. The only problem is that with the dictatorial leanings of the radical, American Democrat party, we as a nation, or at least those dumb enough to have voted for a Democrat in 2018, have been fooled, because Democrats only vote for fools.

The sluggish and grinding Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a new freshman House of Representatives member, has become rather full of herself and her place in a representative government. She doesn’t understand that her opinions are not presumed to automatically become law; that other people have to be included and agree on policy before it can be voted into “law”. But she has been so surrounded with praise and adulation by her far-left supporters and by the worshipful, fake news press, that she has become separated from reality and believes that she can rule alone at the throne-of-the-swamp in Washington.

Over the weekend AOC again made a fool of herself and her self-aggrandizement of her intellectual gifts, when she said that since she is the only person in government interested in the environment, and that her Green New Deal would save the world from certain destruction, that “I am the boss”.

She thinks that she is the boss, and that we ranch hands out here in the netherlands should follow her enlightened demands and buy her foolish, juvenile policies.

Someone should quickly tell Ms. AOC that it ain’t gonna happen. Too many of us have spent too many years and decades in the real world and we recognize the destruction done to a nation and to our own government when leftists rule by edict with their pigeon-English, childish, not-thought-through, just flat wrong theories of climate destruction and we’re not going to allow this fool to dictate to us.

Aside from the fake news press pushing the liberal lie of white, straight, Trump supporters being haters of blacks and gays and attacking and pretending to lynch minorities, the case of Jussie Smollett actually exposes the truth, which is opposite from the tale that the leftist press tried to pass off to America.

Instead of Jussie Smollett being a poor, suffering black man whose homosexuality and race was used to punish him and keep him down, Mr. Smollett was actually a quite wealthy man and led a pleasant upper-class life in Chicago, being paid tens of thousands of dollars for each television program he starred in, with more such high-paying jobs on the horizon.

But he was ambitious, wanted publicity to further his career, and knew that the liberal leftist press would run full speed to support the false tale he concocted of his being attacked by MAGA racist/terrorists. So he plotted his lynching scheme, just like the TV shows he was in were plotted and choreographed, and when he executed his plan the leftist media jumped through all the hoops that Smollett knew they would, to support his lie of a violent and hateful America.

It seems that Mr. Smollett was actually somewhat of a political leftist radical as well, and a greedy man who thought that he could play on the liberal Democrat lie that President Trump’s supporters are racists and gay-haters, and gain sympathy and public adulation for being nearly “hanged” by the whites that voted for Donald Trump. The world of the radical American press that describes up-being-down, good-being-bad and dark-being-bright, is itself upside-down and 180 degrees out of phase. The only racism and hatred in America comes from the political left and their hit jobs on Jews, whites, males and people of earned wealth.

There are many thousands of rich, black people and wealthy gay persons residing comfortably and productively in America, with tens of thousands of other people around the world trying to get here so they can enjoy the better life that America offers. So how can the left continue telling its lies about all of the horrors experienced by minority people living in America, when examples of the presence of successful and wealthy minority individuals are everywhere? People vote with their feet when they advance toward freedom and economic liberty, which is what happens when foreigners come to America, both legally and illegally, yet the lies that Democrats spread about how evil America is continue to multiply.

As regards the status of life in America, President Trump just keeps on winning, and the radical left just keeps on losing, as they have lost the Jussie Smolett hoax matter, because they themselves are liars and haters, and that’s a losing combination.

As conservatives watch their beloved Constitution being torn limb-from-limb by the radical Democrats now in the majority in the House; and as Democrats deny judicial appointees, and other Republican actors on the current stage, their Constitutional right to an assumption of innocence when charges are lodged against them; and as Democrats demand that every “rich” person be taxed at 70 percent and that the recent tax relief provided by President Trump to working Americans be rescinded; and as Democrats plot an end to commercial air traffic and to halt personally owned automobiles under the Democrats’ radical Green New Deal, horror should strike the hearts of all Americans at the draconian measures Democrats will go to in order to control their fellow citizens’ lives, and all because of the hate that radical Democrats feel for the presidency of Donald Trump, a non-politician who does not march to the tune of the deep state, swamp dwelling, Washington.

It’s possible that a patriotic American conservative, at this point being tired of having Democrats attack every move and every position that President Trump makes, might very well prefer that one of the president’s competing Republican candidates had won the 2016 presidential election. But I’d like to take a minute and demonstrate that this attitude is unjustified and that things are paying out as they naturally should, and hopefully for the best.

I would encourage these conservatives, who may justifiably cringe at the daily destruction done to our nation by the Democrat party, to reflect a moment on the actual status of government. It’s true that President Trump is a plain-speaking, unreserved patriot who occasionally issues abrupt, humorous and to-the-point tweets directed at his political enemies, but Democrats have been drifting hard to the left for 30 or more years, at a slow but certain pace that was difficult to recognize and identify because of its slowness.

But now, under the leadership of Donald Trump, and in reaction to the pure hate and fear Democrats have for him, the slow-left tack of the Democrats has been increased many-fold and is now evident to all who are honest and believe their own eyes. It’s time to admit the destructive plans of the Democrat party, because current-day Democrats have dropped any pretense of patriotism and have accidently allowed the nation to see how radical they really are.

We’ve seen Democrats actually open our borders to all immigrants, including criminal invaders; we’ve seen a Special Council appointed to investigate our president, with the full force of the FBI and the Justice Department to back him up, based solely on a Democrat-paid-for document ordered by the Hillary campaign, that accused Donald Trump of collusion based solely on lies. And we know that the FBI plotted among themselves to keep Trump from being elected to the Oval Office; we’ve had news articles, too numerous to list, lying about Republicans and the president, and actually having to be taken back by the fake press with no admittance that they were simply plotting against Trump’s policies, which are intended to make America more free and more wealthy, with their radical lies.

So now that we are presented with the truth of the radical left, and now that we are no longer fooled by the baby steps of Democrat policy encroaching on our liberties, we can now face the threat of the left honestly and with full evidence of the danger they present to the nation. And we can thank Donald Trump for exposing this out-in-the-open undermining of America and our Constitution, and their attempts to reverse our comfortable and prosperous way of life.

Now that America’s enemies have been flushed out by the president, it’s the responsibility of all Americans to vote the Democrat bums out of office at every opportunity.

By this time nearly everyone in the entire nation has heard the sad tale of Jussie Smollett, the misguided Chicago actor who staged a beating and lynching attack on himself, and then blamed Trump supporters, white people and every heterosexual person alive for his hoax crime. And of course the likes of “Spartacus” Booker and Kamala Harris, both black, Democrat presidential candidates, who thought they could benefit with Mr. Smollett’s racist and anti-Trump accusations, both of whom are leftist candidates, jumped on the racist bandwagon that Smollett set in motion to condemn whites, Trump supporters and heterosexuals, and help their ratings for the 2020 presidential run.

Since I happen to be everything Smollett lashed out at as being responsible for the crime he said I committed, simply because I happen to be white, pro-Trump and straight, I declare that Smollett’s set-up “crime” was a hate-crime aimed directly at me and my political beliefs, and I condemn this filthy man to prison and a miserable life, now that the Chicago police have declared that he is a suspect in his hoax crime.

No one has been more supportive of blacks and gays getting equal treatment in the world of commerce and education and in the world of working hard and getting ahead, and Mr. Smollett has had much success in his acting life by achieving the position of a main character in a television series. But when he starts blaming me as one of many people who attacked him and insists that I must be blamed for this hoax crime, I’m through with his sort of trash and I wish him nothing but misery from here on out.

I’m also sick of the radical Democrat insistence on hyphenating people like Mr. Smollett as being a “gay-actor” or a “gay-black” in order to identify a maximum of abused American victim categories, thereby making him a bigger victim and deserving of more sympathy and working under more of a disadvantage than if he were only one of the protected groups. He was successful in his acting career, but he decided to use his multiple identities of victim-hood and generate publicity that would assure him to be a bigger star than he already was, and he then blamed me for his hoax attack and also blamed everyone who shares my values and beliefs, and if this sort of hoax is allowed to be repeated, then every white, straight Trump supporter will be branded as a hateful criminal and our nation will deteriorate even further than it already has under radical, leftist Democrat guidance.

The only one hate-filled in this pitiful incident is Jussie Smollett, so lock him up. The greatest hate crime imaginable is the one lodged against someone who is totally innocent of any such accusation, in other words me, and the only real hate comes from the one who launches such an accusation.

Recently cable news viewers were exposed to a video tape of Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her adoring press entourage, yucking it up and enjoying each others’ company while Ms. Harris was shopping for some clothes. One wonders how impartial and unbiased a press corps can be if they are personally involved with a particular candidate and seem to enjoy that candidate’s company and her opinions, to the extent that they assist her with her occasional chores, as this gaggle of leftists were demonstrating in a clothing shop.

When was the last time you saw any favorable press coverage for Donald Trump, or even the last time a member of the press did anything but scowl at the president, let alone maybe even grace him with an occasional smile? Most press questions to President Trump are totally adversarial and are always pointedly slung at the president as an insult to him and an attempt to catch him making a controversial, gotcha remark.

At best, President Trump, or nearly any Republican currently holding office, have press coverage that is dryly professional and reserved, but liberal office-holders get smiling, friendly, back-slapping treatment from the press.

It’s normal and natural for politicians to want favorable press treatment, and it’s natural for members of the press to want access to politicians in order to get information from them when gathering data for a future investigation. But it’s way out of line for a lovey-dovey relationship to exist between a politician and a reporter, which is exactly the corrupt relationship developing between Ms. Harris and her press representatives, and very likely between her and all fake news reporters.

An obscenely close relationship between officials and the press does not serve the public interest when the press is called on to report honestly and truthfully about a candidate the press loves, and it also does not serve the public’s right to know the truth when the fake news press treats every statement and every act of President Trump as though he’s a defendant at the Nuremberg Trials, yet fawns and swoons at everything Democrats say.

In the last several years radical Democrats have taken up the label of “progressive” to describe themselves, so let’s look at a few “progressive” policies and see if they are an indicator of real progress in our society, or do they indicate a path to the destruction of our nation:

Is it progress when a pediatric doctor offers pregnant women to birth their babies and make the infants comfortable, and then, after the child is born, discuss with the women whether they want to abort the child or not? Isn’t it a little too late to discus an abortion at this point? Shouldn’t the word “murder” be applied to this procedure?

Is it progress when a new and radical Islamic member of the House of Representatives calls for the destruction of Israel, our only real ally in the Middle East?

Is it progress when a member of the House of Representatives proposes a Green New Deal which would outlaw coal and natural gas-generated electricity, outlaw commercial airlines and outlaw personally owned gas-powered automobiles?

Is it progress when a president denies all Americans the constitutional right to buy personally paid-for health insurance and forces these people to buy his more expensive and less comprehensive national (and unconstitutional) plan, that does not allow the insured to keep his doctor, and does not allow the insured to keep his plan and does not allow the insured to save the promised $2500 a year, as this particular radical president promised many times?

Is it progress when Democrat-run states and cities declare themselves to be sanctuaries for select illegal aliens residing in their jurisdictions, and deny ICE the ability to remove those persons who are known criminals?

Is it progress when wave-after-wave of immigrant caravans arrive at the United States border, attack border guards, and insist on being admitted to our nation without any vetting at all?

Is it progress when illegal aliens, traveling north through Mexico to the U.S. border, withhold health care from their sick children as they assemble to march to America, illegally cross our southern border, present their sick children to an American doctor, where the child dies while care is finally being given to him in America, long after care should have been given by the irresponsible parent, and then blame the United States, in the person of President Trump, for the death of the abused, and now deceased, child?

Is it progress when American citizens are being raped and murdered by the thousands by illegal aliens, and the Democrat party not only does nothing to punish these criminals and keep similar persons out of our nation, but actually proposes legislation that will allow greater numbers of illegals to enter immediately, and to allow those who are already here to remain?

Is it progress when a leader of the Democrat party, a person formerly assumed to be interested in keeping Americans safe, defends MS-13 murderers residing in our country illegally, stating that they have a “spark of divinity” and should be left alone to continue to commit crimes here and to not be deported or jailed?

Is it progress when a radical member of the House of Representatives proposes legislation that will provide an income to persons who “don’t want to work”, and will provide free healthcare to all Americans, and provide a free college education as well? And does this sort of proposal make any more sense when it is being proposed at a time when our national debt is catastrophic and rising by the day? These additional national financial burdens are expected to cost additional trillions of dollars which will only cause our national bankruptcy sooner rather than later, than it already will arrive?

Democrat leftists are not “progressives” in their attitudes nor in their policies. They are absolutely “regressive” in their professional lives and we should start calling them by the correct name and not the lying name of progressive, which makes them sound more like sensible, intelligent people, which they definitely are not.

With all of the wealth and freedom in the world, nations like Cuba, Russia, Venezuela and North Korea and their Communist/Socialist policies are living proof that only governments with dictatorial, Socialist tendencies can enslave their entire citizenry and force them to live in poverty and suffering.

With that statement in mind, now comes America’s own radical Socialists, better known as the Democrat party, whose members live in splendid comfort and often great wealth, proposing the same policies and big-government actions that have caused suffering for all other nations of the world who propose the self-defeating policies practiced by Socialist/Communist regimes around the world. Specifically, our radical leftist party-of-Obama and his promise to “fundamentally transform America” has introduced the Democrat’s Green New Deal, the program that would enforce totalitarian government actions and undo our economy and our Constitution, and would inevitably lead to poverty, hunger, a shortage of electricity and no individual, personal means of travel for the entire nation, if Americans are dumb enough to follow the Democrats over the proposed cliff that lays ahead. The leftist proposal will assure that we will all give up our automobiles for the carbon-saving travel of the sixteenth century ox cart. But we can all rest easy, because the dithering idiot, Alexandria Casio-Cortez, she who is a descendent of the European invaders who raped and murdered indigent Indian tribes as they cut their bloody way through North and South America, tells us that this is a good idea.

The party of post-birth “abortions” now claims that every American citizen must have free healthcare, free college education, and each of us will live better because we will be able to get our food delivered to us, fresh to our doors, via ancient horse and buggy transportation, because airplanes, refrigeration and trucks will be halted permanently by these geniuses. Democrats think that if they offer us free stuff we will surrender our ability to succeed in life and give up our ability to live comfortably and prosperously. But I believe they are wrong.

When politicians start designing healthcare-for-all, designing buildings to fit a “green” mode of operation, planning fuel and energy production and distribution and tell citizens the means by which they will be allowed to travel about in their daily lives, that nation is in serious trouble and will end up with miserable lives like the extremely unfortunate citizens of North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba.

One can only look at the political proposals of the Democrat party and wonder how they think America reached the current height of comfort, wealth and liberty, which was accomplished, of course, by allowing entrepreneurs and inventors to create the way we are currently living, as these free-thinking people designed processes and products intended to please the American population and make money for those people producing the products. The makers of automobiles and air conditioning made their customers more comfortable and happy with their inventions, and made themselves enormously wealthy as a reward for their inventiveness and industriousness, while also creating more jobs so their employees could afford the products that they produced. None of the above benefits to society can continue to exist when political officials, many of whom are not too smart to begin with, begin dictating to the populace what they can do and how they must live.

Government will always try to dictate to citizens the things politicians demand that they have and what they can do, and will deny citizens the things that citizens want, by simply outlawing those things. And too often the things that they dictate that citizens possess, will harm them or keep them from being able to keep their families safe, or will no longer allow citizens the means with which they can be happy and comfortable. Free individuals will always improve their lives by their own efforts, and big-government will always make its subjects paupers, if those subjects allow this to happen.

There’s an old saying that goes something like this: Those who don’t learn from the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat them.

Our nation, awash in the blessings, the freedom and the plenty offered by Capitalism and assured by our Constitution, is on the cusp of destroying the very thing that allows us to live well and live freely, and the Democrat party is the entity that is trying to push us over the brink and into some very dark days ahead, because Democrats haven‘t learned the historical lesson that big, intrusive government destroys lives.

Of course, once the Green New Deal was presented and discussed by sensible people who exposed the extreme measures Democrats will take to gain power, the architects of this foolishness began wringing their hands and stating that they never threatened to get rid of jet travel and don’t want to take automobiles or electricity away from the public, and that these things are only the misinterpretation of the evil followers of Donald Trump.

But liberals have a history that tells us that these extreme measures to control our lives are exactly what Democrats practice. Just keep in mind that the sensible push to disallow cigarette smoking on jet airliners, led to a ban on smoking in any establishment, including in one’s own home in many liberal-governed locations.

And the leftist insistence on background checks for gun purchasers led to attempts to deny guns to even the most law-abiding Americans. And the next gun control effort was an attempt to by-pass gun ownership by making the purchase of ammunition illegal or punitively expensive; and then that legal challenge to our constitution progressed to attempts to make gun manufacturers liable for any death caused by a fire arm; and the latest abuse of liberal power sought to financially harm, or at least shame, credit card companies into denying gun dealers the credit companies’ payment processing services, thereby illegally denying American citizens the right to buy a gun because of the public shame liberals would heap on the credit card companies and the liberal threat of having credit cards torn up and sent back to the issuing company if they allowed credit services to gun dealers, if they allowed gun purchases.

Liberals are liars, and decent Americans must never trust them to show any consideration for individual or constitutional rights with their attempts to make us all toe the liberal line. Whether the issue is gun ownership, smoking, wanting to buy a car that may use more carbon to power it than liberals are willing to allow, or keeping illegal aliens out of our country, these evil, dictatorial people will not stop pushing the envelop of the Constitution until they have complete control over this great nation.

Democrats must be opposed at the ballot box and kept out of any positions of power.

Former Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, has declared his candidacy to run for the presidency in 2020. Since Mr. Schultz is a Democrat, his fellow Democrats should be happy, but they’re not: the problem is that he plans to run as an Independent and not as a Democrat; and his ideas about being president are sensible, while the radical ideas of today’s main-stream Democrat party are anything but sensible.

The problem that Schultz presents to the far leftist Democrat party is at least three-fold:

1) His candidacy will divide American citizens into at least three voting blocks, which could easily permit Donald Trump to win a second term in the 2020 election, as the Democrat vote is split, while Republicans remain more unified.

2) His more enlightened and less radical positions on all things political will likely attract support from more traditional Democrats and pull votes from whichever radical Democrat, anti-Trump candidate wins nomination.

3) Mr. Schultz is not a politician and instead has made his fortune by being a common sense business-man who understands that spending, even for the government, cannot go on, unrestrained, forever and that we can not provide free stuff to citizens without going completely broke. Today’s Democrats resent a non-politician running for president because his being an outsider means that he will bring into play new ideas that will align themselves with the real, functioning world and not the mentally disturbed, radical progressives in the Democrat party, who promise everything for free.

But following Mr. Schultz’s announcement of running for the presidency he has been flattened by progressive, radical Democrats for saying and doing things they do not approve of and that just might get Donald Trump re-elected to the presidency. His Democrat detractors know he’s a traditional liberal Democrat, but today’s leftist press, and radical members of the Democrat party, are anything but traditional in their thinking and their political scheming, so he’s insufficiently radical, thus his own party tries to drum him out.

So exactly how smart is Mr. Schultz that he couldn’t see how radical and crazy today’s Democrats have become, and why could he not predict their strong push against him when he expresses traditional ideas of sensible economics and a strong work-ethic while the Democrat party only promises to open our borders and to give free-bees to every voter? Mr. Schultz must be completely tone deaf to not have seen where his party has drifted and how far off the deep end they’ve gone with their anti-constitution and anti-American positions.

And on the subject of Mr. Schultz’s personal and emotional strength and his ability to push his policies forward, what kind of strength display is to that as soon as some of the Democrat crazies yell at him he decides to not run after all? When I consider the absolute deluge of abuse and criticism Donald Trump has received since he won the presidency in 2016, the legal troubles he’s faced, and the daily lying about him personally, about his family and about his administration, especially when we know that the press and the special council are using trumped-up evidence to create charges against him, one can easily see the personal strength possessed by President Trump as he pushes his agenda in spite of the daily abuse he gets, and one can see that Mr. Schultz is not up to the task in comparison.

On February 1, 2019, The Daily Wire quoted the vapor-minded Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the new and rising star of the radical left Democrat party, with a number of things that relate to the state of our nation at the moment. In the paragraph below I’ve briefly summarize, in my own words, what AOC’s message was to America:

Ms. Cortez acknowledges that she is privileged to have been born “cisgendered” (the intellectually struggling lady used the latest hip and trendy term as a way of saying that she has a female body and actually thinks of herself as a woman, which in today’s self-identity-blinded Democrat party, is unheard of) and she further lectures each of us small-minded Americans to recognize and identify our own areas of privilege and try to have sympathy for those among us who have lesser status and privilege, and maybe tone down our own attempts get an education, to be successful, to achieve status, to become wealthy and rise above the social and economic stratum we were born into. Basically she wants us to stop trying to improve ourselves and live better than we were born, and be more like the less-privileged among us. Of course the one thing Ms. Cortez misses is that the entire world is caravanning to our borders in an attempt to be part of the enormous privilege that just being born in America, or becoming a legal American citizen, bestows on all who are here. But radical Democrats will always be radical Democrats, so she feels the need to criticize America and all upwardly mobile Americans who try to better themselves, while suggesting that maybe we should not try so hard to be successful and should instead make efforts to live like those who try less hard, so we don’t make them feel bad about themselves.

Ms. Cortez seems to be encouraging us to reduce our own ambitions and live like the homeless and the drug addicted live, but I rather think that the American tradition of trying to be the best we can be is preferable. And by far the most compassionate way to conduct one’s life is to encourage everyone to achieve their utmost, regardless of Ms. Cortez’s idea of one’s privilege-level, and have the lesser-privileged raise themselves to a more successful and comfortable level so they can enjoy life more, instead of trying to encourage achievers to live at a bare subsistence level.

At the political level Democrats like Ms. Cortez just want to make everyone poor and dependent on big government for handouts and low-level housing. That’s the way Democrats gain more power for themselves and their radical party. But in the case of the dim-witted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, there is probably the same level of political calculation we can attribute to people like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who do actually scheme every day of their lives for a plan to make themselves dictators so they can run everyone else‘s lives; I believe that AOC really believes the crap she spews about privilege, self-identity and cisgendering, and that ignorance makes her even more dangerous to America and its citizens than the outright lies of more intelligent Democrats. I resent people like AOC lecturing me and other Americans on how to behave, when she’s such an unaccomplished, brainwashed, dunderhead.

Not long ago some fool liberal Democrat complained that far-right Republicans/conservatives wanted to take over the government and create a dictatorship. This ignorant person, and other like-minded leftists, needs to be reminded that the scope or spread of politics is a straight line going from total dictatorship on the far left, to a non-government far right, lacking any control and with no governing power, resulting in chaos and no government services whatever.

As one moves to the political right from a constitutional government, such as we have in America, toward the far right, there is no point at which heavy government control exists. The further right one gets, the less government and the fewer governmental controls are to be found. And the further to the left one gets from the constitutional center, the less freedom the citizens have as government becomes more dominant, until total dictatorship is declared and no citizen has any rights any longer.

No Republican wants the chaos to be found on the far right; they respect and support America’s constitution with it’s clearly stated and defined roles and duties of government, with all other rights being exercised by the individual states or by the people themselves. Republicans want to preserve and continue the constitution and the rule of law that has always been the way Americans have conducted government.

The ultra left of the Democrat party, including Cortez, Sanders, Warren, Harris and others, all want increased government control over the lives of American citizens, which, as we look at Nazi Germany or the Communist Soviet Union, has always been the starting point for complete dictatorial control over individual actions and aspirations. Socialist Venezuela must also be added to this list because of its relevance as being a current disastrous political event, and being a formerly wealthy nation that is crumbling into poverty under leftist, government control and outrageous suffering by its citizens.

Liberals are completely uninformed about these things, and their thinking that Republicans want to take over the government is proof of their ignorance. Leftist policies always lead to less wealth for both the nation and the individual citizens, and lead to great suffering as the controls expand and strangle liberty and prosperity. Republicans want to limit the leftward drift of government and keep our government limited to the powers granted it in our constitution.

If there is a “right” to government healthcare and a “right” to tuition-free college, why is there no “right” to toilet paper, toothpaste, carrots and vitamin supplements? There is just as much need for the cleanliness of toilet paper and the nutritional value of carrots and vitamins as there is a need for government-provided higher education, and the need is more urgent for the carrots and vitamins because one cannot partake of an education program without proper health and nutrition coming first. But of course, the answer as to why college, and not vitamin supplements, is being promised to all Americans is because leftists always appeal to the members of society who are the most volatile, least informed and most likely to resort to violence to get the selfish things they want, and that’s today young people, represented by the ANTIFA crowd that loves to beat and burn.

So, as the demands of America’s leftist politicians provides for government healthcare and free education, the leftist government will expand the “rights” they believe will be needed to further their idea of a proper government, with working tax payers, as usual, picking up the ever-expanding bill for all of these goodies via confiscation of their wages.

But perhaps more important than “rights” is the availability and “access” to healthcare, college, toilet paper and carrots. If “access” to healthcare ends, in exchange for a new “right” to these things , and it usually does as Socialist/Communist governments tighten the “rights” screw on the larger population, then whether or not you have a “right” to healthcare becomes irrelevant, because there will be no more of it available for consumption or use, as the free “right“ is used to the saturation point and doctors retire or just stop working because the demand for their services, to which everyone now has a “right“, becomes over-burdened, and as the government begins paying them less in order to reduce the ever-increasing use and cost of the free thing, while still demanding more hours of work each day of the doctors and nurses, who have been inundated by an entire population who have a “right” to free healthcare.

In a Capitalist society “access” is always uppermost and always in play as entrepreneurs invent things and develop new ways to manufacture and deliver products and services, with the idea of making a “profit” from the new inventions and methods, which satisfies both the entrepreneur and the public. But under a Socialist government there may be “rights” aplenty, but does anyone have the ability to exercise this “right”, and is there any of it to “access”, after government controls have been put in place to regulate it, require it, or eliminate it?

As we saw in Venezuela, “rights” were assured to the citizens of that forlorn nation, but after the government placed controls on the prices that could be charged by farmers for growing vegetables, and after prices were placed on grocers controlling the prices they could charge when selling these items, it ended up that no one would grow them and no one would open a store to sell them, and the nation of Venezuela is now starving to death in the midst of enormous oil and mineral wealth, which is, once again, controlled by the government.

Liberals believe in making all things that they like, mandatory; and they forbid and make illegal all things that they don’t like. History is a great place to look to see how these things turn out, but reading a bunch of old books is too boring for Socialists, and, unfortunately, these same big-government advocates are too wrapped up in their idiotic plans to establish all kinds of additional “rights” to look at current events and recognize that Venezuela is staring them right in the face and telling them the error of their ways, and they can’t see a thing.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez burst upon the American scene as a poor, down-trodden, Hispanic minority child who would take advantage of her minority, mistreated status to set things right in this white-privileged and unjust nation of America. But the truth of the matter is that the ancestral name Cortez is one of great European privilege and represents the murder, rape, colonization and enslavement in much of ancient North America, Central America, South America, Cuba and other of the Caribbean Islands, that were conquered and laid to waste by the privileged Europeans that invaded those pristine environments.

When the European Conquistadors (the word means “those who conquer“) invaded the new world in search of plunder in the form of gold and spices, their massive sailing vessels and their well equipped armies of soldiers decked out in chain-mail suits of armor, allowed them to easily dominate and subjugate the indigenous peoples of the target areas they invaded.

The Cortez ancestral family name is prominent among those European names that killed innocent Indian tribes because they wanted their valuables, and they wanted Indian land on which to build splendid mansions from which to rule for centuries. One might notice that the European name of Cortez is constructed quite differently from the original Indian names of Huauchinango and Coatzacoalcos, that are to be found in parts of Mexico, and is representative of the harsh takeover of those non-threatening indigenous peoples living peacefully prior to the rapacious Cortez ancestors, and their ruthless, militaristic tactics.

To this day, the name Cortez can be found at the top of the social listings of Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and other nations who have not allowed the poor Indian tribes to share in the wealth that the Europeans stole from them. And one may notice that the Cortez ancestral family likely introduced Socialism and Communism to many of the former tribal-run nations (Venezuela and Cuba come to mind), and we can see that the European Cortez family profited enormously from the government controls in those nations that subjugated the indigenous peoples living there and kept them in poverty, similar to the political plans for Socialism/Communism that AOC offers America today.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes with much ancestral family baggage that the American left would prefer to keep hidden. Despite her pretense of coming from a simple, lower-class up-raising, we know that her family in New York was wealthy and gave her an education at a fancy northeastern college that was superior to what most American kids named Smith and Jones can afford to attend.

The colonization of the New World that the Cortez’s of old accomplished with their manufactured, engineered weapons and galleons of ships, resembles the glorious and enthusiastic burst of energy that Ms. Cortez displayed when she took over the long-held New York, Democrat House seat and began trying to remake America as though it were an old Oaxaca tribe that was ripe for the taking. But many Americans are not going to roll over for her attempted colonization of this great nation to the Democrat cause of Socialism, higher taxes, fewer liberties and the destruction of our constitution.

Everything about Ms. Cortez screams of privilege. Her first name of Alexandra is found frequently in the Imperial, ruling families of Russia and Europe, and the Ocasio-Cortez part of her name is a blending of two powerful European Conquistador names that shared the wealth of the Indian tribes from whom property was stolen. In fact it would not be surprising if one learned that the old European-Privilege name of Castro (as in Cuba’s dictator, Fidel Castro) were not allied with a Cortez at the top of the ruling families of Cuba; and how far from the Venezuelan Socialist dictators of old, with names like Chavez, Gomez, Perez and the current Maduro, can the Cortez family be, given their proclivity for ruling over poor people who cannot oppose their European privilege and be allowed to live freely.

It would seem, to a thinking person, that Ms. Cortez has much privilege to explain away as she parades around like a poverty-stricken waif who is just trying to make Americans pay for the privilege she says they took from other peoples, when the history of her own, ancient family name is replete with events she might like to apologize for.

And finally, as an up-to-date note concerning the destruction done by old colonial rulers like the Ocasio and Cortez families, the poor native populations of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, as well as the usual Mexican suspects, are all swarming to America to escape the personal and national tragedies that old Imperial, European families, with their Socialism and anti-Capitalist propaganda, have forced on the impoverished peoples of Central America. One could conclude from the evidence of the caravans heading north to America, that the Central Americans are speaking with their feet and would prefer the American, Capitalistic privilege that offers them work and a decent life, to the Ocasio-Cortez promise to make Socialists of them and keep them poor, hungry and subjects of the big-government state that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now offering Americans with her Venezuelan/Cuban schemes of socialistic ruling.

One may indeed wonder why, during a time of great prosperity; at a time when more people are working than ever before; at a time when serious steps are being taken to halt illegal crossings of our border; at a time when more attempts are being made to halt crimes that are being committed by illegal aliens; at a time when most employees’ 401Ks are the largest they’ve ever been, one may well wonder why all of the news from the leftist, anti-Trump swamp-class is all negative and all anti-Trump.

The problem is that the constitutional right to report the news is left to the honesty and integrity of those entities reporting the news, and since anti-American leftists have neither honesty nor integrity, we are left to hear only the things that the leftist press wants to report, and only those things that make their side look better. Here are some examples:

We know told that President Trump has a 45 percent approval rating, but when the blathering class speaks of his approval rating they always lie that it’s less than 40 percent and rapidly approaching the damning 30-percent level. And they’ll never, ever, tell the reader or the viewer that Nancy Pelosi’s favorability rating is at the rock bottom, and is much worse than President Trump’s.

President Trump, who alone among the responsible officials in the government shutdown, has been willing to negotiate the issues that caused the shutdown, makes an offer that will hopefully get Democrats to the table, temporarily ends the government shutdown and puts government employees back to work, and the lying press reports that Trump has caved.

In 2018 the liberal press told us repeatedly that there was no Central American caravan approaching our border, even as the Fox cameras showed images of this north-ward movement. And when the caravan got to Tijuana and caused major havoc there, the press was completely silent, and quickly switched to coverage of the alleged crimes of the American border agents when they opposed a violent attack on the border by the very caravanistos whom the blathering press told us didn't exist.

President Trump gets a nineteen-point favorability gain from Hispanics because of his firm stance on putting a wall on our southern border, and the blathering press is silent.

Black and Hispanic employment levels are the highest in history, but the blathering class ignores this marvel and continues to complain about black economic troubles and the racism of Donald Trump.

The blathering class complains about the separation of children from their parents as families illegally cross the border, and they are silent about the fact that the Obama administration did exactly the same thing, because that’s the law.

The United States is safer from terrorism now that President Trump has devastated ISIS, and the blathering class is silent.

Kamala Harris states that we need to stop the illegal flow of deadly drugs into America, and the blathering class fails to mention that this subject is a major part of the Trump administration’s plan for border control.

Kamala Harris claims that prison reform is needed in America, and the blathering class fails to remind her that President Trump has just passed such a measure, at his personal guidance through the lengthy process.

The blathering class is gleeful about former Trump associates being indicted by Robert Mueller, but fail to mention that the indictments are for process “crimes” and have nothing to do with Russian collusion nor with President Trump personally; and they also fail to mention that Hillary colluded directly with Russia on her Uranium One deal (which profited her with more than one hundred million dollars) and that the FBI director himself on July 5, 2016 told the nation that the FBI had solid evidence that she had broken numerous laws, many of which were violation of national security.

And of course when the blathering class sees a story that is favorable to Trump they spike it and never let it see the light of day, which is a direct violation of the constitutional duties of the press, which is to report the “news“.

AOC is so young that she is unaware of the decades of environmental leftists who have previously predicted global warming doom within 5 years, or 10 years, or 15 years, and her ignorance of things that have come before the present day is making her look like a fool with her new 12-years-to-destruction prediction. But at least her time frame is unique, although still ridiculous.

Beginning in the 1970s we have listened to a series of leftists who were unable to get their act together and give us an idea of what they were really predicting, starting with a new ice age dooming the earth, then they switched to a series of predictions of global warming, then climate change, and all of these new and improved predictions differing greatly on when their total destruction would occur and the devastation they would cause.

Carl Sagan, Paul Ehrlich, Ted Danson, Al Gore, Prince Charles, dozens of Hollywood people who have played scientists in movies, and various Democrat politicians who are salivating at the chance to raise the taxes of all Americans and use our economy to take a severe hit, have made their own predictions. These anti-capitalist and anti-American attempts to impose Socialism on the wealthiest nation in the world are similar to the recent violent events in France, with President Marcon’s misguided plans to increase taxes on gasoline in order to stop the lie of Global Warming. These planned tax increases caused the Les Gilets Jaunes riots that continue to this day in France. Leaders intent on dictatorial powers and command-economy dreams always impose strict rules and higher taxes on the plain working people of their nations, and dream fondly of where they will waste all of this new tax money once it is forced, at risk of imprisonment, from the earnings of their citizens.

All of the ridiculous prophecies of leftists about enormous warming caused by simply driving our family automobiles have been proven wrong, and all of the previous threats of doom in 5 or 15 years have all come and gone with no dire climactic developments that have doomed the world. Leftists have never thought once that, even if a climactic warming increase is approaching, a slowly rising temperature will allow farmers around the world to grow more food for the increasing number of hungry mouths being born into the world each year. A slow increase in temperature is all that has ever been predicted by environmental scientists, with a small increase in temperature being felt in 50 or 60 years, until political scalawags like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez began pitching her bull-crap of imminent disaster. Someone should tell the good lady that we adults have heard all of this ridiculous hyperbole before and we will not fall into line and have the likes of this leftist fool lead us to national disaster with her little 12-year warning.

The lovely and youthful MS. Cortez is so inexperienced and so stupid in her pronouncements that everyone will eventually recognize her intellectual shortcomings as she continues to spew “progressive“ jargon, and her meteoric rise in the Democrat party will burn out, at which time she’ll fizzle as her ideas are buried in the trash-heap of history, along with the Socialist government of Venezuela. One fears that Ms. Cortez, and her co-conspirator, Elizabeth Warren, will cause the formation of an American Les Gilets Rouge as United States citizens tire of our Socialistic, wealthy home-grown leftists trying to deny us our constitutional rights to freely seek our own happiness and prosperity and to be left alone by our ever-more-intrusive, bloated, government.

Recently the lovely, talented, and demented, Joy Behar, she of the television show The View, of which she is the major screeching member, accidentally exposed to Americans the future maneuvering of the radical, Trump-hating, Democrat party.

When asked why liberal Democrats are so quick to criticize anything Republicans do, and everything that Trump does, she admitted that Democrats are so “desperate” to get rid of Trump that they will over-react, always negatively and often violently, to anything he does.

So now we all know how Democrats will react to any news related to Trump or his policies, even when his policies are exactly what Democrats have previously asked for and often have received, and we can expect them to become outraged and violent on many more occasions during the next two years of Trump’s first term. And may the Lord help defend us against the aberrant reactions of the insane Democrats if Trump is re-elected for a second term.

And looking beyond Joy Behar to other freaky leftist happenings, another revealing thing that has come to light since the Catholic boys had the gall to wear MAGA caps at the Lincoln Memorial: it’s become obvious that radical Democrats have nothing but ridicule and disgust for Christianity, especially Catholicism, but they worship drum-beating, chant-slurring Indians like the lying Nathan Phillips and his pretend religion, who softly attacked the school children in DC. And liberals adore people of the Muslim faith with its mistreatment of women and its radical Sharia law. So now we know everything we need to know about liberals: they hate traditional religions and will oppose everything Trump wants, which is exactly what led to the just-ended government shutdown, even though President Trump has offered the Democrats nearly everything they have asked for in an attempt to get them to the negotiating table, because he insists on a defensive wall along our southern border.

And additionally, when CNN’s Savannah Guthrie thanked Nathan Phillips for his service in Viet Nam (he didn’t serve in Viet Nam, and aside from Phillips’ own personal dishonesty for not making it clear that the intentional liberal lie of his foreign military service was incorrect, and for Ms. Guthrie’s professional failure to know of and expose this critical fact, when was the last time you ever heard a Washington liberal go gratuitously out of their way to thank a Christian American for his/her service in the military, and especially for service in Viet Nam?) he made no effort to correct the record and tell her that all of his service was state-side, and often in the brig, but let the lie slide in his own lying self-interest.
